• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    BCE/CE or BC/AD?

    How is it at all obscure? You're 13. It's used in higher education texts a lot. What? You're just grossly exaggerating. "AD" means "in the year of our lord". He's certainly not my lord, and he's not for plenty of others, too. It's a simple choice.

    BCE/CE or BC/AD?

    Er, BC and AD are used in conjunction and refer to separate time frames. This year is either AD 2011 or 2011 CE. And BC and BCE sound "identical" because CE means "common era" and BCE just means "before common era". Totally simple.

    BCE/CE or BC/AD?

    Seriously? I would imagine it the other way around. My upper-level history textbooks all used BCE/CE, at any rate.

    BCE/CE or BC/AD?

    BCE/CE exclusively. The fewer religious implications, the better.
